World Tension Rebalancing

[CKShrek321]

Quick questions HOI4 version: 1.9.3 Kaiserreich version: 0.12.2

Describe the change you would like: I was looking at the world tension document out of curiosity (it seems to be the main repository for world tension affecting stuff) and I found the list of events that cause world tension to rise to be interesting. Based off my understanding of the text

2WK - 50 WT 3 way + ACW = 15 WT 2 way ACW = 10 WT RCW = 10 Spanish Civil war = 7 Balkan War = 6 Savoy Crisis = 10 Russian Expansionism = 5 Kerensky dying = 5 Mittleafrica Collapses = 8 Democratic US wins civil war = -5 Macarthur wins = 5 AUS/CSA wins = 10 Belgrade pact = 4 Germany booted from legations = 5 Rising sun = 5 Fading sun = -7 Greek Expansionism = 5 Greek diplomatic path = -3

Explain the reasoning behind this change: A lot of the tension numbers can use some reworking in my opinion. Macarthur winning the civil war causes as much world tension as greece going expansionist, while China reunifying doesn't add any world tension. The Belgrade Pact + 4th Balkan war causes 10 world tension (equivalent to a 2nd Russian Civil war) while them declaring war on Austria or Ottomans doesn't seem to do any.

I think a rebalance should start with a baseline of world powers (Germany, UoB, CoF, Austria, Russia, USA, Japan) + formable world powers (China, India, Britain, united Italy (okay this is a bit of stretch), Scandenavia). Then smaller and regional powers and their respective events can be factored in.

Additional context or comments: Off the top of my head, I feel like

Big wars:

• [x] 2nd WK = +50 WT
• [x] 2nd ACW = +10-15 depending on how many factions
• [x] 2nd RCW = +10-12.5

Lead up to 2WK:

• [ ] Black Monday = 5
• [x] Savoy Crisis = +10
• [x] Spanish Civil war = +2 + another 3 depending on foreign intervention
• [ ] Belgian crisis = 0-5 depending on if Germany and France intervene
• [ ] Reichpakt revolts = 0-10 depending on if Russia plays games

Fall of the German System:

• [x] Mittleafrica collapsing = 5
• [x] Cairo pact war = 3-7.5 (depending on if they win)
• [x] Belgrade Pact vs Bulgaria = -3 to +3 depending on who wins
• [x] Belgrade Pact vs Austria = 3-7.5 (depending on if they win)
• [x] Formation of Scandenavia = -5 -Edit: I wrote Belgrade pact vs Austria twice instead of Belgrade Pact vs Bulgaria

Americas:

• [x] Democratic USA winning = -3
• [x] Macarthur winning = 2
• [x] Radical victory in ACW = +5
• [ ] US declaring war on Canada = 5
• [x] Halifax conference = -5
• [ ] Nations joining the International/Reichpakt = +1
• [ ] CentroAmerica or Peru-Bolivia or Gran columbia = + 1

Asia:

• [x] Fall of League of 8 Provinces = +3
• [ ] Post rework India invades British territory = +3
• [x] Japan invades China = +3

Other Nations/Factions Losing or Gaining Balance of Power:

• [x] Rising Sun = +5
• [ ] Chinese unification = +5
• [x] Russian expansionism = +5
• [x] Indian Reunification = +5
• [x] Entente Collapses = +10

You make good points and we broadly agree; will see if we can fit some time in to get it done. Thanks for the suggestion!

Removed:

European Nations joining reichpakt or international = +1-2 depending on size
People leaving Entente = +1

As we don't think it is worth doing them, converted the rest into checkbox to make it easier to organise
